Linda Shapiro, PhD

Professor, Computer Science and Engineering

Adjunct Professor, Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education

Joint Professor, Electrical Engineering


Interests:

Research in a) object and pattern recognition, b) facial expression recognition c) medical imaging including cancer biopsy analysis, and d) biomedical information systems.

Background:

45 yrs computer science with funded research in all kinds of object and pattern recognition including medical work in craniofacial analysis, medical image analysis, and multimedia retrieval.

Currently accepting new MS students and new PhD students only if they have their own funding.
